Mansard villas are a type of architectural design characterized by their steeply pitched, double-sloped roofs that extend out beyond the walls at the eaves. Courtyard design refers to the planning and layout of a private outdoor space typically surrounding the villa. This style of design often emphasizes harmony between the building and its natural surroundings, incorporating elements like gardens, water features, and outdoor living spaces. It combines aesthetics with functionality to create a seamless indoor-outdoor environment.
